    Pitstop action for adding Wide Format Marks and pulling cut path information.

    Which is exactly my point. I think the cut line would require decisions. it is just a rough outline, do we need the internal bit cut out, do we need each chain link to be weeded out - it is the designers job to make such decisions, not some prepress guy. or prepress system. adding registrtaion...

    Pitstop action for adding Wide Format Marks and pulling cut path information.

    Steven - yeah - Any system can either use a TrimBox present within a PDF, or add a TrimBox to a PDF - the issue at hand is two fold. 1. Examine the art and create a cutline - 2. Place Registration marks every N-inches with two in close proximity of a corner ( to communicate where to "start" )...

    Pitstop action for adding Wide Format Marks and pulling cut path information.

    If someone built a storefront template within PressWise storefront, one could of course add dies - most of our customer use a spot color set to overprint. When PressWise then steps in repearts the PDF - lets saw something like a CR80 https://www.idzone.com/800303UPGQ-PF.html? Then of course...

    Lab vs CMYK Spot Color in Acrobat...

    good example of what SZmetana explained - look at Pantone 151 - that super saturated "cheeto" orange. if you printed that with SWOP or even GRACoL CMYK, you would get NOTHING like that Spot Color Orange - it is a CMYK simulation, and with only Y and M, you will never get close. But may DFEs will...

    Overprinting Agfa Harlequin RIP

    yes, if you start with a spot color and convert that to CMYK, of COURSE C,M,Y and K would overprint ! Yes, glad you understand that ... Yes, if the spot color is set to overprint, that would meant that plate is solid - and to "view" that you would need some method to "simulate" that on...

    Panel to panel bleed - whats the terminology?

    besides the term "insufficient bleed" - seems like this is a dead cut ( that is, you are not having bleed ) and the registration is off. Manufacturing errors are probably common when you perform dead cuts ( because you don't want waste ) - with a dead cut there is zero tolerance for error - but...

    Can I create a curve adjustment in Acrobat Pro DC?

    You can do some crazy things using (and embedding ) a custom Output intent. When I worked for AGFA, you could always count on me for a YES vote on doing this before you make the PDF. But then we discovered that this makes a very 'device dependent' PDF ( as in, this PDF will only work within this...

    Creating lab colour swatches in illustrator using csv text

    I recall - from my days at Compose - we sold an app called Star Proof - it would not only make the swatches as a PDF, but when we printed them, we could measure and it would grade the deltaE. http://michaelejahn.blogspot.com/2010/06/one-of-tougher-things-to-do-with-color.html
